akshayaurora··on Kylin, a Distributed Analytical Engine with SQL for OLAP on Hadoop
How does this differ from HAWQ, Presto, Hive or Impala?
akshayaurora··on Linux apps running on iOS via userspace x86 emulation and syscall translation
This is really cool, can anyone detail how the syscall translation works?
akshayaurora··on To Remember Everything You Learn, Surrender to This Algorithm (2008)
Seems like the main USP for SuperMemo is finding the optimum time for review. Does Anki also do this?
akshayaurora··on Facebook PathPicker
Not sure, how much I'm going to use this. But I just hate the name (or command) `fpp`. Why put Facebook in the name?
akshayaurora··on Introducing the Dropbox bug bounty program
Why now?
akshayaurora··on Firefox for iOS on GitHub
IMHO, 1Password extension injects JavaScript into web page. Would be interesting if addons are possible.
akshayaurora··on Firefox for iOS on GitHub
Can we expect Mozilla Stumbler geolocation crowdsourcing also on iOS?
akshayaurora··on GDB tricks
Isn't lldb better option now? Commands are more structured.

FWIW, gdb on OSX is a pain to setup, and attaching processes is broken.

akshayaurora··on Flat UI jQuery Theme
I tried porting it to jQM too. https://github.com/iakshay/jqm-flat-ui. Didn't really continue..

jQM is for mobile devices why are you using custom dropdown?

The course should be interesting, it shall be teaching everything through Three.js.
